There
is nothing more attractive than a woman dressed up or casual looking,
wearing open toes shoes, or sandals and her feet look clean and maintained.
If you cannot afford to visit your spa monthly, do them yourself! But if you
can visit your spa twice a year it really helps. If you can plan a winter
Pedicure and a before summer Pedicure at your spa, keeping them maintained
in the meantime is simple. Stock up on some products before hand always is
prepared.
Foot Scrub
Purchase a good foot scrub. Every Department store carries them and they are
made for every type of skin. Soak your feet for a good 10 minutes in warm
water then use the foot scrub to exfoliate any dead skin cells. Giving your
feet and calf a new smooth layer of clean skin.
Nail File Kit & Cuticle Oil
If you go to a store you can find kits that already have the files and
clippers that you need for your Pedicure. Most include scissors and buffers
at a great price. Cuticle Oil is not in most stores, but is stocked at most
popular spas. After soaking and exfoliating, shape, file and take off any
extra cuticle. The hard part is over.
Cream
Not just any cream. Try a Tea-Tree cream or peppermint cream for stimulation
and scent. Dry your feet thoroughly and apply as much cream as you need.
Base-Coat, Polish and Topcoat
Any brand will do. Make sure you wipe the cream off your toenails or the
nail polish will not adhesive or dry on your nail. A base and topcoat is
important because it makes your polish last longer and when you have done
all this work, polish should be the least of your worries. The longer your
feet look good, the less work for you.
Try this every month in between your Spa Pedicures. It leaves you with O'So-Heavenly
soles.
